Something to Believe In (words by Rhett Redelings-MacDermott)
I don't want to sing a song About the war I don't want to talk about What it's really for I don't wanna talk about The VP getting rich off the Score I don't want to watch the Rich killing off the poor
(Chorus) I want something to Believe in That doesn't cost another man I want leaders not Deceiving CEOs on CNN I want peace, peace, peace I want a chance for an honest life Not an endless war for a Bigger slice I want Peace. Peace. Peace.
I don't want to think about the sons and daughters Fighting a fight started by their fathers Or the mothers taking comfort from a statistician And the hollow lies of a politician
They need something to believe in That doesn't cost another girl They need leaders not deceiving Businessmen using up the world They need peace, peace, peace They need a chance for their daughter's life Not this endless war for a bigger slice They need peace
(bridge) They're telling us lies to keep us down and afraid We're lining up to give our freedom away They're killing thousands of people everyday, Breaking the heart of the US of A Taking away our freedom to say Give our freedom away… No one sane wants war Even the terrified want something more When hope looks like a weapon to a desperate man, We can share the world, try to understand, or united we'll fall and divided we stand….
We need something to believe in That doesn't take an eye for an eye We need a future not a feeling That won't be safe unless we buy the lies We need peace, peace, peace We need a chance for a better state Not an endless flow Of blood, oil and hate We need peace, peace, peace I don't want to talk about what it's going to cost I don't want to sing about a generation lost They need something to believe in They need something to believe (Don't let it be this) They're waving their flags, standing tall with pride, Clinging to rhetoric to justify The immeasurable loss of those who'll die And who can blame them? They need something to believe in Don't let it be this We need peace peace peaceTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
